>>> Here's Stormur at liberty. Looks sort of pacey, but he's only got one foot planted...? Is that maybe a transition to canter, or is he about to throw in a little buck?
That brings up an interesting tangent...you have the John Lyons type rope with you...when you are chasing a horse, do his/her gaits look typical? I don't "round-pen" my horses a lot, but I notice horses bucking or making odd moves more often, like roll backs, than when the are in the pasture with their friends. I know that horses will move differently on a circle than on a straightway, and even if you aren't in a round pen, they seem to want to keep a radius from you, staying on some circle-ish pattern. I had the feeling that Stormur might be about to buck or snake his head before I noticed the rope, that's why I asked. Karen Thomas, NC \
